Session 0 - Who we Be and What we Doin - 1.png

Schedule

Every other Friday @ 7:30 Eastern, 4:30 Pacific
If a player is unavailable the group will choose what to do. Ideas:

  • Play without that PC (PC will be on another quest, or resting from an injury, or piloted by the GM depending on situation)
    • If we're playing without a player we should get thoughts/information on the headspace of the missing character so we can make appropriate decisions for them if needed.
  • Play a 1 Shot or a different game.
  • Watch a Vampire Movie together?
  • Cancel Session

Group Discussions

  • Technology & Audio Etiquette
    • please mute when possible
    • muting notification sounds if you can
    • If there's lots of mic issues like crackling and issues on a mic, please look into better sound equipment
    • if you're talking over other people. stop and consider for a moment.
  • Bio Break Frequency & Duration?
    • target short bio-breaks for every 60 minutes, like 5 minutes
  • session duration?
    • target 2-3 hour session we can always adjust as needed.
    • if someone needs to tap out they can! Always
  • During Game Communcation:
    • Voice Chat - This is for active conversation and What is happening IN GAME
    • Roll 20 Chat - IN CHARACTER / IN GAME Relevant stuff
    • Discord - Side-conversations and shit posting. This is really helpful for staying engaged when there is a lot going on. Just remember that there are 6 players and only 1 theo so they can't always keep up with what's happening in Discord while also running the game.
    • NOTE -- If you need theo's attention on something during game and they don't respond, it's because I've missed it or gotten distracted. I'm def not ignoring you and you shouldn't shrug and be like "must not be important". I WANT TO KNOW SO PLEASE REMIND ME
